Schala.
Among the most influential cities in the world, Schala is a proud and independent city that belongs only to itself. (unless you got money. Then you could probably control the stocks of all the major corporatioins in Schala. But that's beyond the point) Although the city itself contains no great military power and doesn't possess any astounding technology, its merchants and steady business owners spread its influence and power far and wide.
Such is the might of the Merchant City Schala. (such is the uselessness of Xyla's information)
On this fine day, Xyla and Sora were taking a gentle walk down Selit Street... or, rather, they appear to be taking a gentle walk down Selit Street. But that's not actually what they were doing. Dum, DUM, DUMPLINGS.
Okay, I lied. The friendly duo were taking a gentle walk down Selit Street. Dum, dum, dum...

Sora watched as Xyla ducked behind a pole, hid under a fish stand, and glanced cautiously behind the corner before darting from shadow to shadow. "What are you doing?..."
Xyla shushed her. "We're supposed to be secretive!"
Sora rubbed her temples and followed slowly. "Not like this, you dork!"
"Oh." Xyla stopped trying to not be seen by a perplexed four-year-old boy and stepped sheepishly into the sun. "I knew that."
"Just relax already." Sora tugged irritably at her (still) dyed blonde hair. It had been a few years now, but it still hadn't come out. "The guild leader isn't that bad - in fact, he's sort of...weird."
Her companion blinked. "How so?"
Sora rubbed her forehead. "You...don't want to know. Just do well on this mission and I'm sure he'll let you into the guild! I mean, we're already legendariest, right?"
Xyla thought about it. "Oh, right. Luscious, too. Ah, that Gilbert was a fine teacher...but what do you think your leader wants us to do?"
"Dunno." Sora wrinkled her nose. "Probably hunt a monster. You know they've been appearing lately, right?"
Xyla nodded thoughtfully. "I've heard they've been coming from Atra..."
"Yeah! I saw one when I was treasure hunting on an island." Sora shuddered. "Pretty creepy if you ask me."
"So the rumors are true? Then...Atra is invading?"
Sora shrugged, dodging around a child chasing a ball on the street. "Could be. Who knows? But let's just get going."
The two hurried off, not noticing the black-cloaked man following silently in their footsteps...
DUM DUM DUM!
Well actually he was following the person in front of them, so nevermind.

"I've heard of secretive guild meetings, and this... isn't one of them," Xyla pointed out.
The guild members were seated in a circle on the fresh green grass of Buorel Park. A fountain poured water next to them, making a small rainbow beside the solemn guild members. Around them, children frolicked happily, picking flowers, as birds sang and bees worked hard trying to sting the children taking their flowers. All they needed was a unicorn to make the scene complete.
"I apologize," a man with an interesting mustache/goatee thing said, standing up. "Our Schala headquarters were exploded due to our guild alchemist last week. It should be completely fixed in a couple of months."
"I.. see," Xyla stated, feigning understanding.
"Well, you must be Xyla," the man continued. "I am Avlis, the dead sexy guild leader of Très Brûlant."
"Dead...sexy...?" Xyla twitched. Sora had warned her the guild leader is a bit weird, but... sexy?
"Of course! I used to be in the Guild of Extreme Sexiness across the street over there, except my archrival Oteca quit the rival guild to our guild, the Guild of Extreme Manliness, and formed a guild of his own instead. So I formed the guild, Très Brûlant."
"Oh. I.. see. So. Um. What does your guild name mean?"
"My guild name? It is a name that reflects the essence of our wonderful guild. In our language, it could be roughly translated to "Very Hot." The name reflects the one stunning quality we all have... WE ARE ALL EXTREMELY HOT!"
"What!" Sora exclaimed. "That's lame! I was under the impression our guild name meant like, Slayers, or, I dunno, The Exterminators, or something!"
Avlis frowned. "Really? The Slayers used to be situated where our headquarters is, but they moved out because old Mrs.Robinson next door kept telling them to keep it down in there. As for the Exterminators, they used to be down in Sixth Street, but got shut down by the Guild Assembly for harming insects."
Xyla listened to all this with shock. Sora's guild... is anything but what she expected.

((I think Avlis' sexiness rivals Gilbert's lusciousness. Almost.))
"Um...anyway..." Sora sighed. She was used to Avlis' insanity, but this was a tad much. In fact, it was hurting her head a little to find out that the guild she was so proud of had a name like...that. "Could you just give us our mission?"
"Right." Avlis struck a pose that he probably thought was extremely sexy. It...wasn't. ((Check the 360 movie, Xerxes AKA Andrew for any ideas if you're lacking in the imagination.)) "I received a request from the Kingdom of Rolante yesterday, asking that we send some guild members over to Fishing Harbor Palo. Why, you ask?"
"No, we're not asking." (Sora, being snarky.) Avlis ignored her and changed poses. "Why, you ask??? Because Navarre has invaded!!! Unfortunately, the queen cannot send her Amazons to help, as the raiders are placing seige on the castle. So she has petitioned us for help, asking that she sends our best and mightiest warriors."
Sora grinned at the praise.
"But I'm not listening to her! I'm sending YOU guys!!!"
Okay, should have seen that one coming, Sora thought, twitching. Xyla whispered to her, "Your guild is so famous that the queen of a kingdom would ask for you help?"
"I think it's more like we're infamous for our idiocy..."
"EXCUSE ME?" Avlis boomed dramatically. Sora and Xyla jumped three feet in the air and snapped to attention. "As I was saying! I'm sending you guys to Palo, because that is where the main host of Navarre soldiers are stationed! Your mission is to take out the commander and escape to Elrand to the east, where you will find aid from one of the guild members of a branch of our guild that resides there, KYOUSEI THE MYSTERIOUS NINJA MAN!"
A cold wind and a few sakura petals blew by just then, showing just how mysterious Kyousei was.
((Well, he had to do something besides randomly harrass Kata.))
Sora decided not to ask about the ninja thing. "Um...sure...when will we leave? And how long will we have to complete the mission?"
Avlis fingered his beard. "WAIT!" he thundered when Sora opened her mouth to speak again. "I am thinking. Sexy thoughts."
"..." Xyla and Sora went.
"RIGHT! I REMEMBER NOW!" Avlis struck yet another pose. "Here is the petition! You may take it from my sexy hands."
Sora, once again, did her best not to comment and took it. "I expect you back at least within three weeks!" Avlis declared. "Sexy luck!"
"Don't you mean good luck?" a random guild member asked.
"NO! SEXY LUCK!"
Sora and Xyla took the chance to run off, as they (thankfully) did not have to talk to Avlis anymore.

To the esteemed Sir Avlis of Guild Très Brûlant: ("How did he get to be a knight? And...'esteemed'?") ("Just shush and let me read it. The sooner we finish reading it, the sooner we can forget about Avlis and his weird sexy fetishes.") As you know, Our kingdom of Rolante has been under attack by the Navarre kingdom for some time now. We find Ourselves unable to send any of Our warriors as they are occupied with defending Our castle from the Navarre raiders.("What's with all the capitals and plurals?") ("She's royalty, she gets to do stuff like that.") ("What, so just because she's a queen she can say that she's 'We'?") ("Yeah...I guess. Hey, don't look at me! I didn't make up the system.") Understanding the circumstances, We beseech that you would send your Mightiest and Best warriors to the Fishing Harbor Palo to quell the threat of the raiders. All they must do is assassinate the commander of the raiders, and then escape.("'All'? She makes it sound like it's nothing.") ("Well technically it is to her. I mean all she has to do is petition someone to do her dirty work for her and then it's done.") ("Meh...the reward better be good.") The reward will be 10,000,000 zennies.("...") ("...") ("...") ("...") ("Good enough for you?") We would like to request that the warriors are sent as soon as possible, as the situation grows worse with each passing second. ~ Licenziosa, Queen of Rolante("Man...her signature took up like half the page...") ("Hey, there's something on the back.") To Sora and Xyla, from Avlis a.k.a. THE
SEXY ONE [/center] ("...Okay, I suddenly don't want to read anymore.") ("Just read it and get it over with...") The commander purportedly has sexy hair. But it cannot be as sexy as MINE! Make sure you don't get caught. If you do then commit suicide.("...") ("...Is there something wrong with him?") JUST KIDDING! If you are caught, do whatever you can to escape!!! Even if it means not being sexy!!! :O!!!! After the job is done, head for Elrand to MYSTERIOUS NINJAH MAN KYOUSEI'S place! His house is most mysteriously next to the art shop. Hide out there until the hullaballoo dies down and then come back here! SEXY LUCK!("Okay, why did you even invite me to go on a mission with you??") ("I really, really don't know.") ((I'll leave it up to you to figure out who's saying what in the parentheses))
